Bernie,  Thank you for our July perch/home/nest.   It's raining a bit here, much needed but sultry as heck.   I'll take the rain any day over the blistering hot sun we have had.    My trees, plants and even the birds are happy with the rain.   Not fun to see birds sitting on feeders with the beaks open due to the heat.   Need the watering places filled often for them but the darn raccoons get in there and 'dirty' up the fresh clean water.   Grrrrr.

Absolutely nothing going on here,guess that's a good thing. It's unbearable here today and is to last st least for a week. Temps over 90. Heat index over 95+ all week,even to awful to sit out on the deck. 
well,I sure did something to my back,  I spilled some water and instead of squatting down I bent over to dry it up. I felt something pop! Could not take a step.hubby got my cane,which I don't use at home. Barely managed to walk to the living room from kitchen. It has improved,but still bothers me,even when doing nothing. Slept with ice pack last night. Hoping it will heal by itself,it sure felt like a disc problem, we'll see.

I stopped bending over a long time ago. When something I've spilled, I take paper toweling and wipe it up with my foot, yes I have a shoe or sandal on. Anything to save the old back is my motto. I can't squat or kneel so that's my quick fix solution And lifting is another no no for me. I hope your back is feeling better.

It's been sultry here too and just when I thought I might be able to open some windows tonight I heard fire crackers going off...in daylight.  Anyway I don't want my birds inside to have a rough night sleeping because folks around me go hard with the firecrackers and fireworks so I'll leave the A/C on.  Maybe it will be cool in the morning and I'll air the house out then.

@Epicurean  I'm sorry you popped your back.  

@Leeny  I've also done the paper towel with the foot thing.

Boy they sure can make it hard.  I still havent received permission  to drive by myself. What a pain I just need to get some bananas to keep potassium up.   And to add time new experiences a sleep  mask.  I can't get to sleep so I don't know if that comes with experience or not.  It was shooting so much cold air I was afraid of ice cream headache.  I think I got that solved. Then I had to find magnetic snap. Finally did it by then I wasn't sleepy. I'm trying to remember so many new things that I'm stimulating my brain or at least that's what I tell myself.  I start seeing the docs after the 4th.  He was so sure the mask would help with leg swelling. Of course I've only had it two days.   
Ok I'm done whining.  But I swear if that doc doesn't call I'm going to wait til everyone goes back to work and drive myself the half mile to store.  Lol

leeney,I usually also clean up spills with my feet,just sometimes automatically bend over. Never had this happen so painfully! Probably a disc problem as they are slowly wasting away.
